Louie has some explaining to do… (Credit: BBC) Louie is unmaksed, but there is a twist In a hilarious twist, Vicki asks him how he knows what blackmail is, considering he is only 10 years old. Louie admits Granny Cindy told him about it. Everyone suddenly realises where the idea came from. And, although Cindy has no idea what her grandson has been up to, no one is surprised that she is linked to the drama. Louie begs everyone not to tell his parents what he has done. Vicki agrees, as long as he deletes the photo and keeps quiet about what he saw. But this is Walford. Surely it is only a matter of time before the truth comes out… probably on Vicki and Ross’s wedding day! Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders?
